Description
This house of character has been loved, not just by the present owner but, one senses, by all those who have lived here. Care has been taken to preserve and enhance its original features, which present as well today as when the house was built. High ceilings in the main section create a feeling of spaciousness, and the rarely seen timber dressed ceilings in kitchen and bathroom are complemented by timber skirting boards and heritage timber doors throughout.
After opening the picket fence gate, it a short stroll through an established easy-care front garden onto the front verandah. The front door opens into a lounge area with combustion fireplace and reverse-cycle air conditioner. Access to the double-sized master bedroom is on the right. The central kitchen, next on the right, is spacious with ample storage and benches and high timber ceiling. The bathroom across the hall also has a timbered ceiling, with matching timber vanity, shower over half-sized bath and high window ventilation. There is room to add cupboard space in both kitchen and bathroom.
The second bedroom, on the right beyond the kitchen, is of good size with reverse-cycle air conditioning and a very spacious built-in wardrobe with double glass sliding doors. A third small bedroom on the opposite side of the hallway fits a single bed, with room for drawers and hanging space. It could also function as a study or something similar. Laundry and loo are located in a neat back area beyond the heritage glass door.
The backyard is extremely generous, with single car garage to the left and plenty of room for play. It would allow for the construction of one other dwelling at least ? such as a granny flat ? and perhaps more. The beautiful, established garden requires little maintenance, if not so inclined, but is one which a gardener would love, with plenty of possibilities. There is more than enough room to incorporate a vegetable garden, for example, and grow your own.
The 562.8m2 gently sloping block, unaffected during the massive 2007 Newcastle floods, has amply demonstrated its flood-proof qualities.
This is a home you could live in as is, or extend (now or later), or to which you could add an independent dwelling or dwellings. It is close to Newcastle University and all amenities in a quiet well-maintained street. It would be an ideal investment in a suburb that is just being discovered. This charming yet robust cottage and its bountiful garden are ready for your personal stamp and sense of style. If this is the kind of home or investment you might be looking for, I would love to show you through so that you can appreciate it for yourself.
I want to sell soon for best offer. Inspections can be arranged by appointment.
